Minna Palo, Entrepreneur PIKKUVIHREÄ

Toilet Board Coalition’s Accelerator was like a business toolbox for us. We now have a better understanding of our role, our strengths, and the opportunities in the sanitation business. A big thanks to our mentors and Toilet Board Coalition for enabling this journey for us!

Bara Wahbeh, Entrepreneur AKYAS SANITATION

Toilet Board Coalition is like a resource hub for us. The amount of resources and the network we have access to is unbelievable – we hope to nurture our business through it. It was a great experience, and I am sure there is a lot more to learn in the near future.

David Gallagher, Entrepreneur AEROSAN

Through Toilet Board Coalition’s Accelerator, we were able to make new connections and build our network, and now we’re looking at possibilities to expand our business in other countries.

Asim Bhalerao, Entrepreneur FLUID ROBOTICS

The Accelerator has helped me both personally and professionally. Fluid Robotics was predominately a robotics and loT company. During the programme, Fluid transitioned into a wastewater analytics company, with the launch of Fluid Al and the goal of scaling globally. The Accelerator team helped us create a plan for the coming years and now it is our job to execute it. The help that the Accelerator team provided was invaluable.

Abha Tadvalkar, Entrepreneur INORA BIOTECH

The exercises in the Accelerator have been instrumental in helping us gain a better understanding of our business, identifying our focus point, and understanding our entire supply chain.

Lumar Fourie, Entrepreneur AMALOOLOO

The Toilet Board Coalition Accelerator has in a sense, given us a fresh and objective view of who we are and what we need to achieve. The programme has reignited our passion to bring about hope, dignity, health & hygiene to those who need it most, we are more motivated than ever.

Ingrid Cortez, Entrepreneur SERVICIOS Y SOLUCIONES A&S

The experience with the Toilet Board Coalition Accelerator has been very beneficial for me and my business. I am pleased and grateful for the knowledge imparted by my mentors.

Edwing Minchan, Entrepreneur M&S AGRODINUDSTRIA

I am delighted to be part of the first Latin America Cohort of the Toilet Board Coalition Accelerator. I have learned a lot together with my mentors. We are working in a coordinated way to strengthen my business and make it grow.

Rudy Wahyu, Entrepreneur JAMBAN

Our journey in the Toilet Board Coalition Accelerator for almost a year has been nothing short of extraordinary. Under the mentorship of sanitation experts and the doors opened to a global network of sanitation entrepreneurs and investors, our understanding and insights in the sanitation sector have reached remarkable depths.

Ashwani Aggarwal, Entrepreneur BASICSHIT

Our experience with the Toilet Board Coalition has been incredibly positive. We have successfully refined our business model and established clear projections, aligning with our long-term vision. The programme has provided invaluable support and resources, enabling us to make significant strides towards our goals.

Nivedha R.M, Entrepreneur TRASHCON

We saw leaps of growth during the last year. We learnt how to institutionalize our organisation and structure the fund we were trying to raise. We secured not one, but two funding and a considerable portion is coming from Toilet Board Coalition’s associations. All of this has been possible through its continuous support and redirections. Thank you so much!
